  • Hello,


    Thanks for this great tutorial.
    After reading for a few weeks i thought it was time to build my server.
    Following this manual worked ok for me, but now i have a few questions/problems.


    Do i read the card with the cccam or with the oscam ?
    when i add this to my cccam.cfg, i see my entitlements in cccam


    #SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
    #SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
    #SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB2 smartreader+


    i drive 300km this afternoon to get myself a smargo cardreader, the only one they had was for 3 cards, but i will do for now with 1 card connected .
    but i think i need to connect the card with oscam. and that's where i have the problem connecting the card.


    I deleted those lines from my cccam.cfg so the card is not in use.
    when i do the "lsusb" command the i see this :


    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0403:6011 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT 4232H Quad HS USB-UART/FIFO IC
    Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser


    so the things i tried in the oscam.server are these :


    [reader]
    label = tvvlaanderen
    protocol = smartreader
    device = Serial:Reader (tryed 0 -->3 here)
    services = tvvlaanderen
    caid = 0100
    detect = cd
    mhz = 500
    cardmhz = 500
    ident =
    group = 1
    emmcache = 1,3,2
    blockemm-unknown = 1
    dropbadcws = 1
    ratelimitecm = 4
    ratelimitseconds = 10


    and the same, but just these things changed



    protocol = smargo
    device = /dev/ttyUSB0


    witch worked for a moment untill a reboot, then i got errors again


    also tryed


    protocol = smartreader
    device = 001:002


    because this is detected during the usb scan :


    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0403:6011 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT4232H Quad HS USB-UART/FIFO IC

    iProduct 2 Triple Reader+
    iSerial 3 00000966



    also tryed with the serial .....


    So i'm kind of stuck here .
    Any help would be appreciated :)

  • Moved to its own thread. Not many people have had the triple card reader. I had this reader and I couldn't get it working with Oscam on a PC server - never tried it with Oscam on a receiver. Problem with these readers compared to a normal smargo is the tool you use to change the settings or update the firmware etc doesn't work. I found they work fine with CCcam, so if you can get away with using CCcam (would depend on your card) then you can go down this route. If you drove 300km for this then they certainly saw you coming! - I bought mine for 60 quid and sold it for £20 quid a couple of months later. I would suggest if you intend to use Oscam to read the card, then you can go for an omnikey reader - which more or less work out of the box, and you can get 6 of these for the price of one smargo triple reader.

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....

  • I was driving over there for a blue one, after trying with a dell smartcard keyboard that i had over here ...
    the first weekend i had some time to spend some time on trying this, so the website advertised 'in stock" ...
    when i came there ... they sold the last one yesterday :)
    I installed it on a ubuntu server, now it seems to read my card with these settings, i removed the mhz settings


    [reader]
    label = tvvlaanderen
    protocol = smartreader+
    device = /dev/ttyUSB0
    services = tvvlaanderen
    caid = 0100
    detect = cd
    ident =
    group = 1
    emmcache = 1,3,2
    blockemm-unknown = 1
    dropbadcws = 1
    ratelimitecm = 4
    ratelimitseconds = 10


    even after a few reboots it seems to be working.
    in cccam i see server, clients , active client connected, even the provider i can see,
    but after i made a f: line and a c: line in my dream, i don't get to see anything on tv ...
    so i guess it will take me some more reading time here :)



    maybe i just have to take a normal ACR38U reader :)
